All the stuff was always super attentive, welcoming and friendly ready to help with anything we needed. This was our first time staying at RIU hotel and I’m already planning my next vacation at one of their properties. Worth every penny. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/298016e2-d182-4426-b170-091ab823ad38-1763064571824.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e94efec0-eeb3-4e8d-9ab0-bf083c87b98c-1763064570333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d75200c-a0ab-4f83-9f4b-b1ad4fb6423d-1763064572288.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42cd7acf-a17b-4582-9d96-ee766064e620-1763064573128.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bartlomiej Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Management and staff of this Hotel were perfect and very attentive it made our stay so great ##### John Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sharla m 5 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All meals were very good, food was replenished before it was needed so it was always fresh. There was always a good variety, and it seemed to have a good variety of vegan options (I am not vegan). Drinks were served in smallish glasses but they use quality alcohol. No waitstaff in at the pool or in the bar, but that may have been because of the time of year. Our room was clean and spacious with a very large balcony and a great shower and very comfortable beds. Rooms were cleaned early in the day. A couple days before arrival I received an email th check in. During the process you are asked the time of arrival. We were arriving at 8:30 am we got to the resort and our rooms were ready and waiting for us! They have a free shuttle to take you to Funchal 3 times a day. The hotel is beautiful, the pool area is huge and well maintained. Highly recommend anyone to stay here. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75b82731-f863-4da3-8378-50f0b9fe7d87-1767612047271.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4660058-efaf-464b-8709-1aef406c2aae-1767612048816.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b779f330-8e49-46d3-a164-15015a33f4ea-1767612046197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### sharla m Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucia 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great location , easy access to downtown Funchal .. the shuttle service made it easy and convenient.

Workers were all pleasant and friendly and helpful. Very close to the airport and Funchal which are huge benefits. ##### Lawrence Wing-KI Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jared 24 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is an all-inclusive resort, which limits the breadth of drinks offered: there is only one brand of wine that I saw in the dining room, and the poolside bar had a laminated card with a limited number of simply made cocktails. Both the wine and cocktails were good, though. The Riu's app has bonkers areas. A link to the fine-dining room's menu goes to instructions on how to use your phone as a room key. Hitting the back button always took me away from the subject I was pursing to a chain-wide list of all Riu resorts. The room itself was fine, but a little greige for a high-end resort, and the air conditioning needed a boost. The staff were all very, very, very good. A shuttle bus into Funchal was a very good service. Would I return? Probably not. I'd want to stay in town, rather in an area equidistant between Funchal and the airport. And a little more variety in drinks. ##### Jared Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clarence 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean property with excellent service.
